Hi all,
I'm doing an Island Mist Blueberry Pinot kit. 1st attempt at wine making.
I read the directions wrong.
The directions say that when the SG gets to 1.010, transfer it to the Secondary.
However, when I read that, I mentally thought 1.001. So, I basically waited an additional day in the primary fermentation bucket, before I moved it to the carboy.
By the time I realized my mistake, the SG was down to .998.
I now have it in the carboy, and it's bubbling away. Temp is 75.
If it matters, while it was in the pimary, I simply had the bucket lid laying on top (not sealed), without an air lock.
Thoughts? Comments?
Thanks!
